2023 Term 3
Week 10, Term 3 Newsletter
Friday 22nd September 2023
Kia ora e te whānau,
Wow! Term 3 is officially drawing to a close, what an exciting term we have had with the following learning opportunities for our tamariki; Jump Jam was a fabulous way to spend a Saturday watching all of our tamariki dance! Polyfest was amazing, each and everyone one of the tamariki showed mana and RIPPERS representing Limehills! Congratulations to all of the tamariki playing sport during the week and weekends this term, well done on your sportsmanship. Well done to all of the tamariki who participated in speeches in their classes, at Cluster level, at Central level and well done to Electra and Jack representing Limehills School at Southland level! It is no easy feat to stand up in front of an audience of your peers and strangers. Congratulations to Jack who placed 3rd at the yr 5/6 Southland level.
A special shout out and thank you to all of the Limehills School parents/whānau helpers this term there were so many. As a school we really appreciate your ongoing time and support whether that be transporting our tamariki to an event, accompanying them at an event, volunteering around school with the farm, SVA, camp, the arts and the art project, reading, teaching waiata, Kapa haka, weaving and art work. A big shout out to all of the volunteers who dedicate their time and passion for the benefit of our rural school & our community. Thank you to all of the volunteers in the; Home & School Association, Jubilee Committee, Pool Committee and School Board. Thank you for everything you do that helps our school. We will have a special volunteer morning tea in term 4 as a small token of our gratitude and appreciation for all of our volunteers.
At the start of term 4 we have Borland Camp for our year 8’s and Rakiura Camp for our year 5 & 6. We will have our Mihi Whakatau to welcome our new families on Tuesday 17th October at 10:40am in the school hall. Everyone is welcome to attend.
I am not in school Thursday & Friday, I am available via email during this time. Mr Murray will be Acting Principal in my absence. Friday is our end of term RIPPERS Celebration assembly. We celebrate our tamariki showing outstanding RIPPERS values across the term! Each class has 1 certificate for each of our school values that a student is celebrated for showing outstanding RIPPERS. I have enjoyed reading all the certificates and learning the reasons why these tamariki have been chosen. Everyone is welcome to attend the assembly and celebrate all of the students' work and successes across the term. Assembly starts at 2:15pm sharp.
Myself, Mr Murray, Kirsty, Miss Anderson and Miss Kelly will be working the first 3 days of the school holidays attending the Southland Literacy conference. We will be participating in a variety of workshops with all the leading edge Literacy leaders in NZ to bring the very best knowledge and skills back to our school.
If you were thinking of attending the upcoming Jubilee celebrations on 4th - 6th November, I encourage you to jump onto our school facebook page and register for a ticket.
"2 days to get your registrations in! If you've been thinking about attending - game on! Get online and register. Contact your old classmates, parent friends or current friends of the school for a great weekend catchup!
The Jubilee Committee have been working tirelessly arranging a fabulous weekend, there are also paper enrolment forms at the Library, Reap office and School office.
A huge thank you to my super staff who have worked incredibly hard providing lots of learning opportunities for our tamariki! I wish each and everyone one of you in our school community a relaxing and restful holiday! I look forward to seeing you all in Term 4 for an action packed term and welcoming our new families who join us in Term 4.
Ngā manaakitanga,
Whaea Kat
